The Sydney, Australia native dropped in 29 points on 12-of-17 shooting from the field and 5-of-6 from the free-throw stripe. He also ripped down 11 rebounds to record his fourth double-double of the season.

The leading scorer in the Patriot League, Trist is averaging 18.3 points per game and 20 points per contest since entering league play.
